"Hufflepuff" "Slytherin" "Ravenclaw" "Gryffindor" Now when I call your name you will step forward and I will place the Sorting Hat on your Head... (Minerva McGonagall) Sorting Hat's Song: Oh, you may not think I'm pretty, But don't judge on what you see, I'll eat myself if you can find A smarter hat than me. You can keep your bowlers black, Your top hats sleek and tall, For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat And I can top them all. There's nothing hidden in your head The Sorting Hat can't see, So try me on and I will tell you Where you ought to be. You might belong in 'Gryffindor', Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve and chivalry Set 'Gryffindors' apart; You might belong in 'Hufflepuff', Where they are just and loyal, Those patient 'Hufflepuffs' are true And unafraid of toil; Or yet in wise old 'Ravenclaw', If you've a steady mind, Where those of wit and learning, Will always find their kind; Or perhaps in 'Slytherin' You'll make your real friends, Those cunning folk use any means To achieve their ends. So put me on! Don't be afraid! And don't get in a flap! You're in safe hands (though I have none) For I'm a Thinking Cap! "LET THE FEAST BEGIN"... ('Albus Percival Brian Wulfric Dumbledore')

Oh you may not think me pretty, But don't judge on what you see, I'll eat myself if you can find A smarter hat than me. You can keep your bowlers black, Your top hats sleek and tall, For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat And I can cap them all. There's nothing hidden in your head The Sorting Hat can't see, So try me on and I will tell you Where you ought to be.
